I had to send the Lamb chops back to cook as they came medium rare. They came back almost the same. Aji de gallina had the chicken in chunks. The chicharrón de pescado did not come with any salsa criolla or salsa tártara. The fish was dry. If they came with the excuse that this was fusion with French or Italian food--PLEASE.

I threw in a side of maduros (sweet plantains) and honestly... they should offer that officially. Call it the SunRaye Burrito with steak and sweet plantains inside a burrito? Yum. Personal critique -one note- it'd be more steak, less rice. But the flavor was on point. We had swung by Los Pollos Rotisserie just before closing, and even at the end of the night, they did a great job. I love most to see this spot is consistently good and always updating - haven't been let down by a meal here, and I keep coming back.

The servers are knowledgeable of the menu and able to answer many specific questions. At times the service felt a little rushed, which is why I gave it a 4/5, but nothing to deter me from going again. Atmosphere: 5/5 It is truly a beautiful restaurant. The décor, the lighting, the cultural aspects on the wall, the different sections of the restaurant...all really contribute to a vibrant and authentic experience. They've recently expanded as well, and I was blown away. Value: 4/5 This is truly an experience. The pricing can be a little pricey, but I believe it is worth it. This is probably not a casual night out for dinner, but a nice date night, a celebration, or an elevated experience. Opportunities for Learning: 5/5 The menu has many traditional Peruvian options with unique twists. The menu maintains many of the Spanish names for the dishes, so the menu will have you googling. I first learned about the anticuchos cooking style at Llama, and I continue to learn every time I go back.

Reservations are usually required since they get full real quick. The server was kind and explained the menu and meal service to us. We started with specialty cocktails. Everything is hand made and fresh. You can taste the difference. We got some appetizers. Personally, my favorite was the yucca with the trio of dipping sauces. Each sauce was better than the last, and I wanted to continue eating each one long after it was done. The octopus was delicate and melted in your mouth. The flavor combos in the volcano dish were so wonderful. It was like chips and dip. I was most excited for my meal. The pesto pasta with the hanger steak. EVERY.THING.WAS.AMAZING in this dish. I was savoring each bite. Getting sad when I was reaching the end. The pesto was packed with flavor. Creamy and aromatic. The hanger steak?! Oh boy... perfectly cooked. Juicy. Melted in your mouth. I wanted a lot more of that. What a great piece of meat. I was reallllly looking forward to dessert. And it did not disappoint! I got the s'mores dessert. I love s'mores everything. And this was an elevated s'mores like I never had before. The presentation was WOW. The smore was in a bag that they lit on fire at the table. The fire charred the marshmallow on top perfectly. The Carmel on top of the delegate shortbeard was melt in your mouth. Those shortbeard cookies were incredible. Buttery and crumbly. Perfect. The strawberry compote to mix with it was fresh and bursting with flavor. All the flavors melding together to light your taste buds on fire! I would LOVE to return and try some more items. We had a wonderful experience!

We read some rave reviews on our community's Facebook page that intrigued us. The place looked nice from the outside and the interior looked equally nice. We were promptly seated after walking in and presented menus on these digital tablets...only one worked so we took turns looking at the menu. I was going to order their Arroz con Pollo but my wife, who knows I like pernil, pointed out they have pernil so I pivoted and ordered pernil instead. My wife ordered the Cuban sandwich. We just ordered water for drinks and were served chips and salsa while we waited for our meals. Service was quick and efficient and we were soon digging into our dishes. The pernil was just OK. While the meat was tender, it lacked flavor. The yellow rice was just OK as well. My wife liked her Cuban sandwich. I tried it and it had decent flavors. While the pernil fell way short of what I've come to expect pernil should be after sampling it at Kinka's in Lutz, we still thought it was worth a return visit. I just won't order the pernil. Ambience and service were good and value was decent. Lunch for 2 with tip was just over $38.

The Calamari Ceviche was a 9/10 and was another great option if you want to try something a little different. The yuca fries were also a 9.5/10. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and just really good. And I have to give the Moscow Mule a 10/10. Definitely hit the spot!
